Rewarding build experience
Just under 500 pieces and you get a very durable spaceship, an iconic minifigure (plus some friends) and a UCS level stand aesthetic. For the price you can’t find anything close across the various themes. The build itself was nice as there were very few delicate attachments. Easy to build and watch the movie.

XL - explorer
This design is everything the space theme needs to show off what it's capable of. The engine design is sleek and refreshing from the usual. The playability makes it fun for kids (and adults) of all ages. Congratulations to the designer on this excellent build!

Unique building Techniques
I got this piece for my boys 7 and 5 years old to play with. I always appreciate a piece that doesn't use all boring colors when building and this piece was perfect. Underlying color layers is always fun to build. The kids love the figs and the ship.

Awesome Build
I really enjoyed this build. It had some nostalgia of the old Buzz Lightyear ship while being modern. It has some good building techniques and I’m happy with the overall finished product. I did mess up with the plaque sticker though and accidentally put it on upside-down. I didn’t realize the piece had a specific orientation until it was too late. But that doesn’t hurt the overall set.

When concept, design, and finished product align
TLDR-Just buy it. When I branch out from my favorite themes as an adult collector, I want something that is interesting from either an overall design or building perspective. This little gem fulfilled both those requirements. At a glance, the XL-15 may seem like just a reasonably priced, small/medium sized, single-pilot spacecraft, and that is indeed a simple and accurate description of the model. However, this description does not do the design team any justice. 1-The minifigures-Having three unique minifigures (and Sox!) feels just right. The details on Buzz, Mo, and Darby’s suits make them a worthy addition to any collection. Additionally, you get an alternate head and hair piece for Buzz, which feels like a deluxe feature. 2-The build-I won’t spoil the finer details of the build because everyone deserves a chance to experience them. From start to finish, it is a joy. It is predominantly a system-based build with a touch of technic for connection purposes (and creating the stand if you so choose). Nothing is wasted here. The geometry and part usage are brilliant. Stickers are not relied upon for all the details and can be left off, but they do enhance the look of the finished product. 3-Playability-I’m not the best judge for this since the craft is a display piece for me. However, the ship’s connecting point to the optional stand is internal, so there are no pieces hanging from the bottom of the ship. This detail increases the amount of playability tremendously. The ship feels very sturdy when detached, so swooshability is very much in the cards for any child who has this. 4-Overall impression- For me, this set is perfect. Yes, there is a misprint on (I believe) page 64 in the instructions regarding the sticker being used. When that sort of minor issue is the only critique I can aim at a set, I know I have something special. This set feels like a deluxe amount of content in a budget package. You won’t regret your purchase. I know I certainly do not, and I intend to buy another before it retires. My thanks goes out to the design team for creating this perfect LEGO experience.
